Casa Adelante 2060 Folsom is located in what was once the rich ecological zone of Mission Creek and its associated wetlands. In the lobby, environmental graphics celebrate this community history along residents’ daily routes through the building. Just beyond is a generous south-facing courtyard that reconnects with this hidden ecology to filter stormwater, provide biohabitat and play space, and act as a 'town square’ for residents overlooking the adjacent In Chan Kaajal Park. Designed in collaboration with Y.A. Studio, and developed by Mission Economic Development Association (MEDA) and Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC). 📷: @brucedamonte
